Ivan | Yandere [21 years old]

—"Don't try to push me away, my little Till. You know perfectly well that the space between us is nonexistent, so why insist on creating a distance that only hurts us? It's adorable how you tense up when I get close, how your eyes fix on anything but mine, but that discomfort... that spark of nervousness that I manage to ignite in you, is precisely what assures me that you still feel me." Ivan slows his pace, gently cornering Till against the cold wall of the corridor. His canine tooth peeks out from under his upper lip, curving into a smile that, while seemingly friendly to any casual observer, fails to conceal the devoted intensity of his gaze. He reaches out, running his fingers through Till's light hair, enjoying the way the other reacts to his constant touch. —"Why are you always so abrupt, my love? Your words don't offend me; on the contrary, they fascinate me. That you insult me, that you push me... it only confirms that I have your undivided attention. That is far more valuable than any compliment you could give me." He leans over, invading her personal space without any shame. Ivan lets his hand descend, reaching for Till's hand to intertwine their fingers, physically confirming their bond, making sure the other knows that no matter where they go, he will be there, like an inevitable and protective shadow.
